LET’S HAVE A FACEBOOK LIVE OPEN HOUSE/LAUNCH PARTY

This time we are just going to go for it, live on Facebook and showing everyone who you are, why you joined your company and the benefits of the products will have for them in only 30/45 minutes, once a month!

Here’s my own 30-minute training on how to run a live Facebook Open House, check out how I edited the LIVE TITLE later so I could encourage more shares and team members!

HOSTING A REGULAR OPEN HOUSE

This is a great habit to get into, just like monthly opportunity events. Create some excitement 1 week before by sharing a game and the winner will be announced at the live event or promote your product giveaway like I did on this Facebook Live at the start to encourage sharing, engagement and more interaction during the LIVE event.

Your 30-45 minute event is in 6 parts (and a guide to timings to help you stay on track)1) 1 minute – Intro and prize giveaway for shares (welcome chat, #replay, #newbie, #regular or location)2) 2 minutes – Company history, what do they do3) 15 minutes – Talk about the products & benefits4) 5 minutes – Share your story. Why did you join – ask for people to join your team and the benefits5) 2 minutes – Can you do a Live 2-minute product demo?6) 5 minutes – Close and your CTA (call to action). Thank you for joining, please remember to share this live to enter the draw and if you would like to join my team and get products at wholesale please look at the link above the replay.

Questions?Are you a member of our Facebook Community 'Lets Get Social' its a community to you gain confidence to ‘getting social’ with your business online as well as offline!

So you have started a network marketing or a direct sales business and now you need to get the name of your business out there online and share what you do with everyone so you can bring in sales and potentially, new team members. The first thing I advise everyone to do is, host a Facebook live online launch party and make sure you also schedule in a monthly open house event LIVE on Facebook. Let's now jump into how to how a Facebook Party in just 45-minutes.

HOW TO HOST A FACEBOOK PARTY

Let me share with you my tips for launching successfully and ways to run a winning Facebook Party, this to increase your visibility and product awareness massively!

Planning & preparing is crucial: I copy/paste pre-written text throughout the event to save time and stress!

Four Options for a basic 45-minute party are:

1) Create an event 7 days before your party using your personal profile (ASKING if people would like a VIP invite as this party - it is not for public eyes, you want to build up excitement)

2) Create an event in your Facebook Group inviting all your group members

3) Change the actual name of your business group for 7 days to ‘Sharon’s Thursday night VIP Party’ and have the posts running right on your feed there.

4) Host the event on your business page where you can get lots of new eyes onto your content and products

Two things happen with the 'Facebook Group' method (which I love):1) It pings up a notification to every single person who is in your group so tells everyone.

2) It tells people that don’t want to be in your group they are in and weeds them out, leaving only genuine people that want to interact and be there! Bravo - we weed out inactive members so we are left with genuine customers!

FOLLOW OR ADAPT THE PARTY PLAN

7 days before the event post ONCE a day only

Run an online Facebook party alongside a house partyI always create a closed Facebook event for all my hosts holding house parties, I create the event on my personal profile and make the host a co-host of the event and ask her to invite ONLY 20 – 50 of her friends (the ones she has a good idea of who will purchase and engage). This is great for guests coming to her home party get a feel of the products available and the prices. They can ask questions before or if they cannot make her party they can place orders this way. (No item prices are posted during these 7-days or that would be spammy) we save that for party day!

Create some graphics (I use Canva, this is free and available on mobile)

7 days before – Create the event with a ‘door prize’ ONLY for those accepting the invite and post a funny picture in the evening relating to your products6 days before – Create/share a funny meme related to your industry5 days before – Post a helpful/ problem-solving image related to one of your product ranges (plant the seed.4 days before – Post a ‘how to’ image ‘how to apply primer’ how to shrink belly fat’ ‘how to pack for short trips’3 days before – Post an A, B or C image ‘which would you choose?’ ‘which do you prefer?’2 days before – Let’s be entertaining – how about making up a Spotify music list ‘what music is good for the party?’ post your comments belowThe day before your online/in-house party – Create a poll ‘what can you not live without?’ ‘which do you prefer?’

It’s party day…In the morning share your excitement and tag the hostess (you want her to share her excitement)At 5pm post, a reminder that the event is happening at ‘[HOSTESS NAME] house at 7pm] or online at 9pm.

For online parties – share a post 30 mins before asking if they are ready to party and share a fun graphic of you ready to party too!

THERE ARE FOUR PARTS TO YOUR FACEBOOK PARTY/EVENT

1. ROLL CALL the draw for entering the event and for accepting the RSVP invitation

3. RETAIL THERAPY – Share the link to your business page and the special photo album (increases your likes as well)

4. CHECKOUT – WHOLESALE SPECIAL & WINNERS (make people hang out online for the results)

If you are having a ‘video & graphic based’ 30-minute themed party – now is the time to post your welcome video of you dressed up and ready to party!

Here is my 80’s themed video (and I do not own the rights to the music - Please add a disclaimer on all lives and YouTubes that contain music) these are my 30-minute themed parties!!
